Majority of Guns Reported Stolen in Nashville Taken from Vehicles
The MNPD strongly encourages Nashvillians and visitors to lock their automobile doors, secure any valuables---especially guns, and REMOVE THE KEYS.
So far this year, 436 guns have been stolen from vehicles in Nashville, 17 were taken from autos last week. The total number of guns stolen this year in Davidson County is 641, which means that 68% of guns stolen so far in 2026 have been taken from automobiles. Last year at this same time, 655 guns had been stolen from vehicles reflecting a 219 decrease from last year.
Just like guns taken from vehicles, stolen autos are routinely involved in criminal activities, including carjackings and robberies.
